Renewable Energy Directive

The Renewable Energy Directive (RED) is a set of rules created by the European Union to promote the use of renewable energy sources like wind, solar, and biomass. Its goal is to increase the share of renewables in Europe's overall energy mix, helping to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and combat climate change. The directive sets targets, standards, and frameworks for member countries to develop clean energy projects, track progress, and ensure sustainability. Essentially, it guides and encourages Europe to shift towards greener, more sustainable energy options for a healthier environment.
